just got off of the phone with the builder, he scanned the truck to watch transmission functions then dropped the pan. luckily he said everything looks good and i that my tcc valve from the transgo kit is pretty muffed up/malfunctioning. hes machining my valve body and upgrading it to the sonnax tcc regulator valve. unfortunitley sonnax is closed today and he does not have the part in stock, so the truck will be staying until monday but thankfully i dont have to pull the trans again lol

well just got home from the builders shop...he replaced the PWM solenoid as well as upgrading me with the sonnax 4th gear regulator valve. dave asked for nothing and i fully stand behind him, the cuprit now is in the tune or as he thinks is a broken converter dampening spring. so the truck will be staying with him until either this weekend or early next week. due to the divorce/selling the house i couldnt pull the trans at home and would be paying just as much to use my buddys shop so hes dropping the trans sending the conv. out and throwing it all back up for 200. he said although the warranty is up on the conv. hes pretty sure he can get it fixed for free. once again i will keep everyone updated on what happens
